TOPIC: Heavenly Anticipation
But if we wait expectantly for things we have never seen, then we hope with true perseverance and eager anticipation. – Romans 8:25, VOICE
RECOMMENDED READING
Romans 8:16-18
Artist Norman Rockwell created a painting called School’s Out for the 1959 Brown & Bigelow calendar. It showed children running and frolicking with joy as they left school for the summer. This was a popular theme for Rockwell as he released several paintings on this theme. It makes us wonder if he wasn’t reliving his own childhood days when the school year ended and summer fun began.
We should anticipate heaven the way children look forward to summer vacation. When God created us, He placed in our hearts a longing for Him and for eternity. He gave us a hunger for heaven. The reason we love breathtaking glimpses of heaven now is because they somehow remind us of how beautiful heaven will be. We want to look ahead with “true perseverance and eager anticipation.”
Ask God today to give you a focus for your eternal home and think of ways you can reach out to others who might need to know about the eternal home they can have in Christ. Let’s build up one another with heavenly anticipation.
